There are currently 96,966 Connecticut residents enrolled in private plans on Connecticut’s health insurance exchange, but that’s a decrease from the 110,095 who were enrolled at the end of March.

This year’s “preliminary” survey results also found that 36 percent of those with coverage didn’t use it. That’s an increase of 10 percent from 2014. Also, 28 percent of those with coverage don’t have a primary care physician, which is up from 23 percent in 2014.

Andrea Ravitz, Access Health director of marketing, said a lot of people are choosing a plan by themselves and the exchange has to make sure they are choosing the “right plan” for their circumstance.

“Highlighting the important role of primary care physicians provides us an opportunity to encourage enrollees to utilize this important benefit,” Ravitz said. “These doctors are the best place to start when you need any type of health care. They can help you navigate the system, assist you with preventive care, or find the right specialist.”

The survey, conducted by The Pert Group, found that 50 percent of new enrollees in these private health plans offered on the exchange did not have health insurance prior to enrolling for coverage.
